Are you seeing two Turnitin scores against student submissions? Are you seeing Turnitin scores that are 100%?
The last day of class is an important opportunity for students to reflect on their learning. Take some time to plan the last day of class to end the semester well.
This week’s tip will give our Lincoln community a brief primer into open education: what it is, why it’s important, and how it can be incorporated into your teaching.
Letting students know the agenda for each of your class sessions will help your students to be more mentally prepared.
Announcements via your Akoraka | Learn course page are an important tool to use to increase student engagement.
Assessment is an important element of course design and the learning process. Effective assessment provides both a measure of learning as well as a motivation and mechanism for learning.
Constructing good quiz, test, or exam questions requires time and creative thought. Here are some tips to help you write more effective questions.
Identifying what student learning occurs in your course and why, contributes to your knowledge of how your teaching and learning environment can be changed to benefit all students.
Good classroom management enables you to build strong relationships with your students, encourage students to play an active part in their own learning, and also minimises disruptive behaviour from students.
While there can, and are, variations in course pages, it is important to make sure your course page is set up with learners in mind.
The mid-semester break is a good time to reflect on how your course is going so far. By now you will have some student feedback which you can review and consider how to respond to.
